Good evening Rattlers!
Monday we are on "A" Schedule. Girls Basketball players will be released at 2:45.
Next week is Red Ribbon Drug Awareness Week ~ There will be an assembly on Thursday, so we want to see a SEA of red that day!! Think red all week long!
World Famous Chocolate Bar Sales: Students may not sell candy bars on campus until after school hours. We prefer that students leave their box of candy at home. Students who bring their candy to school, should write their name on the box and it must be left in the office, from arrival time to dismissal. Students may not have their box of bars in the classroom. (Mr. Morgan)
